Re: need more serial ports

I have several devices that communicate with a pc via serial ports. I've
been using them on and off, one at the time, because my pc only has one
serial port. Now I want to use them all together. I searched and I found a
serial multiport card here:

I didn't even know something like this existed. Anyway, I'm wondering if
something like this would work under linux.

Why don't you call the manufacturer of this card, and ask?

The manufacturer does seem to be aware that Linux exists, see http://www.support.lavalink.com/index.php?id=435 so call them up and ask them which one of their cards are supported in which kernel versions.
